Stat of the Day

“During the 56 minutes of Verrilli’s initial argument last Tuesday — before his four-minute rebuttal at the end — he was interrupted 103 times by the justices…By contrast, Paul Clement, who was arguing for the states that challenged the Affordable Care Act, was interrupted 33 times in a 30-minute argument. He spoke for an average of about one minute, or roughly twice as long as Verrilli, before being interrupted.”

–James A. Feldman, The Flawed Case Against Donald Verilli
